Stress The Secret Relationship Killer

One of the biggest reasons a guy might not propose is because of all the stress in his life. Stress is a silent killer that slowly eats away at the growth of a relationship. When your boyfriend spends more time worrying about his stress (wherever it may come from) and less time about you then this can definitely halt any plans for a proposal. The problem is a proposal is the last thing on his mind because he is constantly thinking about his problems.

What can you do to reduce the stress so he will realize that you are a woman he should spend the rest of his life with:

1) Affection is one of the best stress reduces. This is a very hard job, so only do it if you know you are up for the task. Different forms of affection that can reduce stress:

Hugs – make sure you give your man a hug each morning before you leave for work and each evening you see each other after work.

Pet Name – give your man a pet name that only you call him in private. Once he hears you call him that name, he will know he is in a safe place

Kisses – Give your partner soft gentle kisses, just to let him know that you are close at hand

Massage – Nothing reduces the stress and tension in a man’s body like receiving a massage from their partner

Its these affectionate moments that will remind him that no matter how much stress he has in his life, there is always a safe place where he can forget all about his stress.
